Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

Battles

Hi all, does anyone else just feel like life is just one big sh!t show? It's just one thing after another, constant drama, family issues, money struggles, stress, anxiety it's just always something.

When do things get easier, do things ever change?

I've been through more than i care to think about in my life but today has pushed me to breaking point and it's bringing up alot of bad memories of previous suicide attempts.

I just feel like it's not worth it, it's not worth fighting, not worth hanging on anymore.

Hello @Nala2022, it really was so frustrating. It's just like when one thing goes wrong then the whole day keeps going wrong which is when it feels like i can't catch a breath in between.

Last night was really rough and I've been awake since 6am but somehow I'm not tired, not physically anyway.

I'm just about to get home after a short shopping trip with my friend and her bubs. I'm looking forward to making an iced coffee and just sitting to hopefully have a moment to myself.

How are you going?

Re: Battles

That sounds really overwhelming, especially when it feels like one thing after another just keeps building on you with no space to catch your breath.

I’m glad you’ve been able to get out for a bit with your friend, even if it’s been a big day. That sounds great, I do love an iced coffee too. I hope you’re able to have a bit of quiet time for yourself when you get home

I’m travelling okay, not minding the cooler weather at all. I actually really like rugging up with a hot cuppa coffee 😊

I hope you have a better sleep tonight and feel more settled @MissGremlin

@Nala2022 it was nice to get out and not have to deal with my car not starting again as I already had that at 7am this morning when I needed to go out. Plus the bonus that I got to have cuddles with her bubs ☺️.

I've just done my dishes and made an iced coffee, now I'm sitting down but I should have grabbed pain relief first cos my head is pounding.

Glad you're travelling ok, I'm loving the cooler weather too but today it's 21⁰ which feels a tad warm for me 😂.

@NightFury was the last one left close to me so I got lucky.

Did have a yummy ham and cheese toastie for lunch today 😋.

How's things over there sweetheart?

Re: Battles

Sounds like you’ve had a pretty full-on morning with the car already giving you trouble early on. I’m glad you were still able to get out and have some nice moments with your friend and her little one though @MissGremlin 😊

Hopefully now you’re able to properly sit down for a bit and that your headache eases soon

21° is definitely getting on the warm side 😄 I’m the same, anything cooler is much more my comfort zone!

@Nala2022 it's really been a full on morning. But for the moment I'm sitting in a somewhat ok space, it's a moment that's feeling lighter.

I've just grabbed a colouring book so we'll see if I can colour a picture while I'm enjoying my iced coffee.

Yes anything cooler is the perfect weather to snuggle up and have a nice hot cuppa. Think that'll be my plan for later when it starts to cool down, a nice hot chocolate with marshmallows on top 😋.

I’m really glad things are feeling a bit lighter for you in this moment @MissGremlin 🤗

That sounds relaxing, I love colouring in, haven’t done it in a while but might get back into it, you’ve inspired me!! Hopefully it helps you switch off a little and take the edge off

And a hot chocolate with marshmallows later honestly sounds like the perfect cozy plan 😄

Re: Battles

@Nala2022 i try to enjoy the moments as they don't happen very often or last long but I'm constantly waiting for it to all come crashing down.

I haven't done any colouring for a few months myself. I used to colour every day but it's been my diamond art for a while now. Hope you get to do some colouring, it's a nice calming activity ☺️.

It does sound like a perfect cosy plan for later i reckon.

Re: Battles

Sounds like it was meant for you.

Yum! Toasted ham and cheese sanga! They're the best @MissGremlin

I'm just okay today. My work day is almost done and then I can head home to Luna and snuggle down and get comfy.

How's your day been?

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

@NightFury yes. I'm just glad that we'll get to be able to build it together. They really need to do an eeyore one though.

They're definitely yummy 😋.

I'm glad the work day is almost done for you. Snuggling down with Luna sounds perfect.

Today's been a bit of a mix, things in this moment are still okayish though I can feel things starting to crash a bit. My head is pounding so I just took some pain relief for that. I've been doing some colouring but paused to take the bins out as it's bin night.
